Many people interpret this song in multiple ways. To me the lyrics are really meaningful, and I really enjoy them. However, I will not tell you what I believe the song is about, I will leave that part up to you!
Interpretation is yours, be inspired by the song anyway you want.
Just write!
Disclaimer: You are entitled to your own opinion, but if you do not like the song, I do not need to know, so please do not share that on this contest or message me to let me know.

- Final notes: Thank-you for your entries. My comments were brief, and to-the-point, but that is because I am short for time and some unexpected things have come up. I feel as though my major points and opinions were expressed in my comments. I read each piece quite a few times and was able to decide on the order. Thanks for the time and effort, well written, all of you!

I'll enter your contest if you consider entering mine

Omg. I am loving the song. The lyrics are great, too and she uses my most favorite female name--ALICE!!!!!!!!!
This is so sad. I really, really like it! Are any more of their songs as good as this one? (That's a problem I have with new bands I listen to. I like one of their songs and the rest are horrid to me.) Lemme know!
I am so uninspired right now, but I will try to enter something soon.

Glad you like it!
I also like:
- My Body Is A Cage
- Black Mirror
- No Cars Go
...All by Arcade Fire. I suggest checking out more though, they have a lot of very great lyrics and every song by them differs from others they have in some way or the other...So you never know what songs you will like/dislike by them.

ahhhhh! I am so glad that you psted this, because I am in love with a song by them and I had no clue who sang it or the title until I started to dig around the Youtube page! GAH! Wonderful.

I like the lyrics, even though I never heard of the band. I will try to come up with something but after my last write I have nothing to say on this subject.

LOVE Arcade Fire!

bookmarked.

Thank you ever so much my friend for the Emerald Award in this contest. When I came here I got a visual image in my mind after reading the instructions for your contest, and away I went to freewrite. I never stopped to punctuate or take a breath. You made it all worth it. Thanks again!
CONGRATUALTIONS TO THE WINNERS HERE!
Much Love Always ♥
